Ilhan Omar Physically Attacked During Town Hall Event

Omar addressed the incident with reporters after her event.

“I survived war, and I’m definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think that they can throw at me, because I’m built that way,” she said.

Many people expressed doubts about the legitimacy of the liquid attack because Omar refused to seek medical treatment or get checked out afterward. Additionally, video footage appeared to show her nodding at the attacker just before the incident occurred.
